Hotspot Spatial Patterns Using SNNP-VIIRS for Fire Potential Monitoring

Abstract

The province of East Kalimantan is officially designated as the State Capital because the area has the least risk of disaster, even though it cannot be separated from disasters such as forest and land fires. This study aims to determine the spatial pattern of hotspots using SNPP-VIIRS for monitoring potential fires. The research used the descriptive-analytic method to identify the research area and collect secondary data. Secondary data is spatial and nonspatial data consisting of hotspot data from the recording of the SNPP -VIIRS image, including frequency and distribution of hotspots. The data usage from 2012–2021 using SNPP-VIIRS morning and evening recordings. The study results show that the spatial pattern of potential hotspots in the capital city of a new country is quite varied. The spatial pattern of hotspots shows that Kutai Kartanegara Regency as one of the locations for the new State Capital, has the highest number of hotspots, namely 38,970 with the highest accuracy in East Kalimantan Province, namely, 1,616 (low), 36,253 (nominal), and 1,101 (high). The potential for fire disasters in Kutai Kartanegara Regency as an IKN location is high, so planning is urgently needed for future fire prevention, mitigation, and prevention strategies. The spatial pattern of hotspots is known, so it can be used to monitor potential fires and minimize fire occurrences.

Hotspot Distribution Analysis as Forest and Land Fire Indicators in the New National Capital City (IKN)

“…Fires are disasters and serious problems that routinely occur every year in various countries including Indonesia (Kumalawati et al, 2018& Kumalawati et al, 2023. Fires in Indonesia also occur frequently in Kalimantan including East Kalimantan especially every dry season (Bowen et al, 2001;Wibowo, 2019).…”

“…Fires in Indonesia also occur frequently in Kalimantan including East Kalimantan especially every dry season (Bowen et al, 2001;Wibowo, 2019). Fires increase every dry season and with land clearing (Kumalawati et al, 2023;Sastry, 2002;Stole, 2003) and forests burning (Kumalawati et al, 2020). The impact of forest and land fires is quite numerous and very detrimental because it can cause damage to the environment and ecosystem and affect social, economic, transportation, and health conditions (L. Tacconi, 2016;AJ Wulan et al, 2016;R.Ajin et al, 2016;Ikhwan, 2016;RP Nugraha et al, 2019;Rozi et al 2020;AA Fitriani et al, 2021).…”
